What happened to Micheal's Arm?

[nikvoodoo]

We all know that i happened at the water tower, but not what exactly or how it happened there. This topic is speculating about that.

I myself think he was just clumsy and tripped. Now he's to ashamed to talk about it xD

That would be so anticlimactic.....

I'm gonna jump in on this and say I think this "Randy" cat is his lover and Mike's actually gay and got out because of Don't ask, Don't tell.





haha. Kidding, Kiddding.
I'm really subscribing to Nik's theory of Randy being a battle buddy. Mike being under the meds allowed his mind to finally relax and that bit of repressed memory bubbled up.

Maybe its actually Randi.

Maybe its actually Randi.

That could be a nice swerve. Lets hope that Hope brings Randy/i up around Pegs and see how Michael reacts.

Has this been answered already either in the forums or in the actual radio show yet? To my knowledge I can't recall Michael ever going into detail about surviving the water works incident. I know he broke his arm, that's about it.

Any ideas?

He hasn't gone into it that I can remember. I wouldn't mind knowing though that seems like it should be a good story. He just doesn't want to talk about it. Maybe one of the zombies prison raped him. J/K

It can't possibly be worse than what happened to Angel and Riley in the pile of body parts in the arena! Gross!

He says that he radioed them in, I think, Chapter 12-1 when Scratch and the Mallers were outside the Tower.

It was Angel and Riley who broke out Datu, but Michael, Burt, Saul, and Lizzie (Correct me if I'm wrong) picked them up as they ran away.

Lizzie was not in the hummer when they picked up angel, datu,riley etc from the arena. In fact she let "INK" into the tower

Its been a while since it did happen but at we're alive in the flesh KC said that when the time is right it will be explained so I just wanted to konw what your theories were. Personally I cant think of anything

Well what ever it is its big because it took a day for him to get out I think that he had an epic battle with the big one where he drowned it

I don't know that we can deduce what happened so much as what didn't happen (I'm making a lot of assumptions).

1. Didn't kill someone else to get away - just would be way too out of character.
2. It's not something inconsequential like tripping - he might be embarrassed but from a storytelling perspective, to build it up for us so much just to mean nothing would be odd.
3. It's nothing game-changing - I just can't see it being something massively important to the story or their survival, why would Michael withhold vital information like that? It's not like he's been pressed for time or would forget.
4. He probably had help - I haven't listened to that episode for a while but I want to say he was knocked out by the blast, no way he got out alone
5. Randy could be related to this incident - Randy has got to be significant somehow, I subscribe to that theory, that Randy was at the waterworks and whether it was a war buddy or relative, his refusal to talk about it would be more about 'it's just personal stuff I need to work out, don't need to talk about it'. If Michael isn't talking about something, based on previous episodes, it's because it's too personal, is best left to emotionally deal with later, unimportant, needs to be secret (between a few people) or doesn't want to alarm people.

I'm dying to know what happened to him but I think it will be a lot more about back-story or personal revelation than some vital discovery about how the zombies operate or the key to winning or something.
